>Wealth gap on campus
新生’苹果3件套’VS苹果
The increasingly notable wealth gaps in Chinese society are dramatized
on campus at the start of the academic year.
大学报到第一天，中国日渐明显的收入差距在校园里清晰显现。
[不一样的行囊]
Beijing. Freshwoman Wang Xiaoyan, with the help of a poverty certificate,
received subsidies from her university, including a bedding set, a
shopping card worth RMB100, RMB300 in cash as well as a mobile phone worth
RMB1,000. She brought from home nothing but a small suitcase for her
clothes. One of her fellow students, Zhu Ling, got out of a nearby
Mercedes-Benz, took out 12 suitcases and proceeded to hire 3 porters to
carry all the stuff to her dormitory.
北京。大一新生王小妍拿着贫困证明从学校领了一套被褥、一张100元的超市购物卡、300元现金和一部价值千元的手机。她从家里带来的只有一个装简单衣物的小箱子。离她不远处，朱玲前后从送她的奔驰车里拎出了12件行李，雇了3个搬运工搬到宿舍。
[不一样的装备]
Jinan, Shandong. Freshwoman Xiao He was accompanied by her parents with
6 suitcases, including Apple Inc’s 3 hallmark products – iPhone, iPad
and MacBook. On the same day, freshman Jiang Fusheng walked to his dorm
by himself with a backpack on his shoulder and a plastic bag containing
apples. His backpack has nothing but a dozen pieces of clothes and shoes
for the 4 seasons.
山东济南。在父母的陪同下，新生小荷到校时的行囊共6件，其中还包括”苹果三件套”。同一天，另一名新生姜富胜独背一个双肩包、手拎一袋苹果向宿舍走去。双肩包里是他春夏秋冬的十几件衣服和鞋子。
[不一样的消费]
According to a 2011 survey of more than 1,700 students by China Campus
magazine, most of its target readers spend RMB800-1,200 per month. There
also emerged the polarization of students’ monthly expenditures, ranging
from less than RMB300 to more than RMB10,000.
根据《大学生》杂志社去年对1700多名大学生的调查，多数学生每月花销达到800-1200元。而且消费正呈现两极化趋势，多者月消费过万，少者每月不足300元。

>600 students in UK at risk
600留英中国学生恐失学
London Metropolitan University’s license to recruit students from outside
the EU was revoked Wednesday after failing in immigration and visa
regulations, the UK-based Chinese Business Gazette reported. It
threatened the future of thousands of non-EU international students at
the university, including more than 600 Chinese. They have to find ways
to move to other universities by the end of the year. Otherwise, they would
be deported from the UK.
据英国《华商报》报道，8月29日，伦敦都市大学招收欧盟外留学生的资格执照被吊销，原因是违反移民与签证条例。该校数千名留学生受此事影响，其中包
括600多名中国留学生。按照规定，这些学生必须在年底前转到其它院校，否则会被下令驱逐出境。
>Outrageous cellphone bills
智能手机’去流量’小贴士
An iPhone user in Shenzhen was billed RMB14,000, after he went on a
business trip to Macao and used QQ, an instant messaging program, during
the 8-hour trip via international data roaming, Yangcheng Evening News
reported. The “bill shock” is becoming more frequent as more people start
using smartphones, telecom operators say. They recommend turning off the
GPRS data service before leaving the mainland.
据《羊城晚报》报道，深圳一位iPhone用户日前去澳门出差，期间开通了国际漫游挂QQ，8小时欠费1万4。电信运营商表示，随着智能手机的普及，令人瞠目结舌的”天价账单”越来越多，建议用户出境前务必关闭GPRS。
[你的流量被吃了吗?]
Four reasons account for a smartphone “traffic shock”, carriers suggest.
They are malicious programs, automatic updates of software, data roaming
outside of carriers’ coverage, and low-quality bandit cellphones that
consume more traffic.
运营商表示：智能手机”吃流量”的4大主凶是：恶意软件、自动更新、信号切换、山寨手机。
>Iran nuclear work underground
伊朗核武器’潜伏’地下室
Economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation have failed to slow Iran’s nuclear program; if anything, the program is speeding up. Iran has
already installed more than 2,100 centrifuges (离心机) inside a virtually
impenetrable underground laboratory, a report by the International Atomic
Energy Agency said. The New York Times said Iran is close to producing
nuclear weapons in a location invulnerable to Israeli attack.
经济制裁和外交孤立并未让伊朗的核项目减速。实际上，该项目正在加速。国际原子能机构发布报告称，伊朗已经在一个”几乎不能穿透的地下实验室里”安装了超过2100台离心机。《纽约时报》称，伊朗可能已经拥有在以色列打击范围之外制造核武器的能力。
>Men prefer a nice face
英男性约会标准大揭秘
Men would choose a nice face over a great body when picking a partner,
statistics from UK-based dating site show. Around 22% men are
looking for a woman with nice eyes, and 20% are drawn to girls with a cute
smile. Just 8% of men listed a good bum as the most important feature,
followed by 7% who see great breasts as the must-have asset.
英国约会网站公布的数据显示，男士在寻找伴侣时，更倾向选择姣好面容而非魔鬼身材。约22%的男性喜欢有好看眼睛的女孩，20%的男性认为有可爱微笑的女性吸引力最大。而只有8%的男性将美臀列为约会对象的最重要特征，
7%的男性认为丰满的胸部是女性的”必要资产”。
【In Brief】
>The French are bleaker about their country’s future than at any time
since 2005, a new poll showed Saturday, with 68% saying they are “rather”
or “very” pessimistic, the highest level ever in the initial months of
a new presidency.
法国9月1日公布的一项民调显示，法国人对国家前景的悲观情绪达到2005年以来最高，68%的受访者称他们”相当”或者”非常”悲观，创该国历史上新总统上任之初民众悲观之最。
>Apple Inc has asked a federal court to find that 4 additional Samsung
products, including the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note, infringe Apple’s patents, following a major victory over Samsung last week, which the
court ruled had copied critical features of the iPhone and iPad.
上周，三星在专利大战中败诉苹果，被判抄袭苹果iPhone和iPad关键功能。此后不久，苹果又向法院提起对三星的诉讼申请，称三星的Galaxy S III和Galaxy
Note等4款产品窃取苹果专利。
【Kaleidoscope】
>Man makes ‘Lamborghini’
小伙自制兰博基尼(图)
Wang Jian, a 28-year-old mechanic from a rural area of Jiangsu, has built
a replica of a Lamborghini Reventon with simple tools, CRI reported. The
1:1 model, nicknamed “the most awesome sports car” by netizens, was
assembled with parts from a used Nissan van and a Volkswagen Santana sedan.
It cost Wang RMB60,000 in all and is being used to transport fertilizer.
据中国国际广播电台报道，江苏28岁农村技师王健用简单工具自造山寨版兰博基尼，被网友称为”史上最牛跑车”。这辆车与真版兰博基尼雷文顿同等大小，由一辆二手尼桑面包车和一辆桑塔纳轿车改装而来，造价仅6万元。王健平时用这辆车运化肥。
[被禁止上路]
Despite the applause, Wang has been urged by local authorities not to drive
his car on the road due to safety concerns.
不过，尽管他的创新精神值得赞赏，当地交巡警部门认为该车存在一定的安全隐患，不能上路行驶。
【Language Tips】
‘To make one’s hair stand on end’
——————————–
Stand on end是竖立的意思，有什么能让你浑身汗毛直立呢？想必一定是很恐怖的东西。这个表达第一次见于莎士比亚的名作《哈姆雷特》，是使人毛骨悚然的意思。
请看例句:
Some of those ghost stories make my hair stand on end, even though I don’t believe in ghosts.
有几篇鬼故事使我毛骨悚然，虽然我并不相信鬼。
【Talk Show】
Geek——极客，即智力超群，善于钻研但不懂与人交往的怪才。本期我们来说说让人欢喜让人忧的极客。
>He’s just a little bookish.
他有点书生气。
>Are you saying he’s a geek?
你是说他是个geek吗?
>Are you some kind of nerd?
你是不是有点书呆子气质啊?
>Not some kind of nerd, I’m the king of nerds.
不是有点，我是书呆子之王。
【Weekly Topic】
Guangdong’s Foshan has banned begging in all public places, such as plazas,
stations, pedestrian overpasses, parks and scenic spots. The move has
spurred controversy. Some people support it, saying it would benefit the
city’s environment and order, while others say the city is putting too
much stress on showing its good side and that the move is inhumane. What’s your opinion?
广东佛山近日出台规定，禁止乞丐在广场、车站、人行天桥、公园、旅游景点等公共场所出没。有人认为此举甚好，有助于提升市容市貌，改善社会治安；但也有人批评，城市管理不应该光顾着面子，将乞丐”赶尽杀绝”的做法缺乏人情味。您对此怎么看?
请将您的姓名(昵称亦可)和观点发至1(免信息费)，中英文皆可。短信获选手机报刊登的作者将获赠10元话费。此外，您的观点有可能被翻译成英文，在China Daily报纸新增栏目”What’s the Buzz”上刊登，详见每周一第9版。
广东广州182****1479
I lived in Foshan for 2 years before I came to Guangzhou, and I quite agree
with the solution, as beggars in Foshan are quite different from those
in other cities.
Though some of them are old and disabled, most of them are in good health,
and they just choose begging as their vocation. They will behave fiercely
or ruthlessly if they cannot get anything from passersby. Once when I was
walking on the street, a boy beggar tried to steal my cellphone.
But I think the government should first figure out some solutions to the
life problems of the people really in need, in order to avoid more social
problems.
江苏扬州150****0759
Bill Lee：中国有句古话：”穷则变，变则通，通则久。”行乞者中大多为具有完全行为能力的健全人，行乞显然不是最适合他们的生存方式。看似不人道的”
赶尽杀绝”政策能够强迫他们改变生存方式，走上新的道路，或许能让其中一些人的人生得以改变。这未必不是好事。
陕西延安183****1858
我是Daisy。毋庸置疑，乞丐的存在，在一定程度上影响市容市貌，但究其根本，这与管理者的工作不到位有很大关系。为什么会有那么多的乞丐？为什么本该坐在教室的孩子沦落街头？政府工作是否真的到位？
佛山这样做，无疑是”面子工程”！我认为，政府加强感化教育及切实改善那些无家可归者的生活才是当务之急。毕竟，他们是社会的弱势群体，保护他们的合法权益是我们不可推卸的责任。因为，这才是和谐社会！
